Despite the blatant human rights violations, the US, Germany, and other Western nations continue their support for the Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham terrorists.

A senior US official met with the Syrian Foreign Minister to discuss sanctions in the first direct high-level contact during the Trump administration.

The United States handed Syria a list of conditions in exchange for exemption from some sanctions.

America’s demands from Syria include expelling foreign fighters and assisting in locating journalist Austin Tice.

So far, the Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham terrorists have received benefits of sanctions wavers.

The Golf Cooperation Council countries and some Western nations, including Germany, have reopened their embassies in Damascus.

Furthermore, Germany pledged €300.000 to the terrorists of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham.

The Syrian “Fact-Finding Committee” has gathered over 95 testimonies and analyzed 93 video clips regarding recent events on the Syrian coast. According to the committee’s spokesperson, Yasser Al-Farhan, reported by SANA, their fieldwork began on March 14 in Latakia, where they interviewed hundreds of families and witnesses. The committee has also received over 30 direct reports and collaborated with UN bodies, though it remains too early to announce conclusions.

The committee will continue its investigations in Latakia and later extend to Tartous, Baniyas, Hama, and Idlib. Despite no direct threats, the committee acknowledged ongoing risks due to individuals involved in crimes against humanity. Al-Farhan also highlighted that Syria’s Transitional Justice Law could establish a national court for war crimes. Meanwhile, the UNHCR reported 21,000 Syrians fled to Lebanon in March.

In a series of attacks, Zionist occupation forces carried out airstrikes in southern and central Syria, leaving at least seven people dead, according to Syrian state media.

The strikes began with an assault on the town of Koya, west of Daraa, where tank shells killed seven people and injured several others, Syrian sources reported. Residents were forced to flee the area as the shelling continued.

The Zionist occupation military later conducted raids targeting Palmyra Airport and the T-4 military base in the eastern countryside of Homs province. The enemy army claimed it had “bombed Syrian military targets” in these strikes.

This latest aggression comes a day after the Israeli Air Force launched an attack on a military site east of Al-Sanamayn in the Daraa countryside.

Yesterday, Monday, the Zionist Air Force launched an attack targeting a military site east of Al-Sanamayn in the Daraa Governorate countryside, southern Syria.

The Zionist enemy is trying to drag Lebanon into a political negotiation process that leads to normalization of ties, and this may never happen, Speaker Berri said.

Well-informed sources told Al-Manar that Speaker Berri’s remarks are also shared by President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, which confirms Lebanon’s commitment to UN Resolution 1701.

The sources added that the Israeli attacks on Lebanon are aimed at dragging Lebanon into signing a normalization deal, adding hat thsi comes in the context of the US pressures.

The Americans have clearly warned Lebanon that, without the political talks, the Zionist attacks and violations will continue and there will be no withdrawal from the five occupation posts.

The sources underlined that Lebanon rejected the political talks and affirmed that only military delegations can address the technical issues through the ceasefire monitor committee.

The Zionist enemy launched on Saturday intensive attacks on South Lebanon and Bekaa in response to alleged missile fire from South Lebanon at Metula.

Lebanon’s New Ruling Class Echoes PA’s Silence –

Lebanon’s new ruling class appears to be following the playbook of the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah: staying silent in the face of Zionist crimes while loudly condemning any form of resistance. Since the formation of the new government earlier this year, Lebanon has faced not only Israeli airstrikes but also a wave of tired political clichés. Officials have declared that the era of resistance is over, replaced by a hollow diplomacy that, in theory, will compel “Israel” to withdraw and halt its aggression. They even assert that the Lebanese Army will repel attacks and preserve sovereignty, yet the reality tells a different story.

Since the November 27 ceasefire, “Israel” has continued to occupy large parts of Lebanese territories, areas seized not only during the recent war but over the course of decades. Airstrikes and artillery fire persist, with Tel Aviv justifying them as fulfilling what it claims the Lebanese state has “failed” to do: kill civilians and destroy infrastructure. Throughout this ongoing aggression, Lebanon’s new leadership has remained largely mute. And when they do speak, it’s often out of obligation, offering little more than recycled slogans about peace, diplomacy, and stability.

As US and Israeli pressures mount, pushing Lebanon toward direct political negotiations, the government continues to default to silence—except for one voice that now stands out. Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji, once regarded as a rational diplomat, has revealed himself as a mere mouthpiece for US and Zionist narratives. His recent statements, parroting foreign rhetoric, met no objection from President Joseph Aoun, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, or any other ministers.

Shortly after reports emerged about rockets launched from South Lebanon, the government hastily pointed fingers at Hezbollah—well before any investigation had begun. Despite no clear evidence, officials rushed to blame the Resistance. In doing so, they ignored a critical fact: they are now fully responsible for security in the South. They also forgot that Hezbollah had already withdrawn from the area, handed over its weapons—only for those arms to be destroyed—and that international forces continue daily patrols through southern villages, often relaying Israeli demands through US intermediaries.

In theory, Lebanon’s government repeats its mantras about sovereignty and diplomacy. In practice, it behaves like a subcontractor to foreign agendas—subservient to US, Israeli, and Arab pressures, and ready to suppress any expression of resistance. This is a political class that denounces resistance not just in action, but in principle, logic, and ideology. Today, some no longer even hide their intentions.

Former Deputy Prime Minister Ghassan Hasbani recently declared that Lebanon would rely on Israel to eliminate Hezbollah from the South and on Syrian militias led by Al-Julani from the East. But he did not clarify whether his plan includes the Lebanese Army—or his own “Lebanese Forces”—taking on Hezbollah from within.

Al Akhbar

Though publicly, the Lebanese President Aoun Highlights Government Reforms and Emphasizes National Unity, their deeds are interpreted differently.

The US-SAUDI-backed pro-Zionist newly-elected government may exclaim unity, their words must be balanced carefully.

This is the old tested and tried trick to lull the commoners in complacency!
